Pause – temporarily stops the recording or playback. This comes in useful if you record one part of your podcast and then want to prepare yourself for the next section. To restart the recording press the pause button again.

Stop – Ends the recording or playback. This must be done before any further editing is carried out.

Forward Skip – Skips to the end or to a position where the cursor is placed.

The only other feature that is important at this stage is the input device. If you click the drop down arrow you’ll see a list of four options, we need to select the input we’ll be using for vocal recording the Microphone.
